More than just stamping #117

I'm an addicted rubber stamper. No hesitations whatsoever - give me a stamp and I'm a happy girl!... but I know not everyone is confident to create with stamps. So, today's creation is to show you that there is more to art than just stamping.

I've had this background made for some time... just waiting for the right project. It was created using Distress Paints with generous amounts of paint applied and then spritzed with water and then left a long time to dry saturated with paint. Love the splodges and the way the wet paint has mixed.

Today I have used a peel-off sticker - white of funky flowers. I've simply laid a selection of flowers onto my cardstock and then used some of the little circles and dots to add some movement. I've added some white gel shading inside the flowers and leaves and also used it to add a border all round.

About Me

I live in Norfolk with my husband Pete, Molly the dog and Finlay the cat and have always been a crafter. I started papercrafting in 2003 and love rubber stamping, experimenting with inks and other mediums as well as the traditional decoupage and am now also hooked on jewellery and beading! I started up a mobile shop and on-line crafting supplies shop in March 2007. In March 2012 we opened our high street shop in Attleborough. I run local monthly crafting groups and regular workshops. I also make wedding stationery and supply local shops and venues with handmade cards and jewellery.
